I too am desperate for an answer, having asked a related (possibly) question
before without a solution that I'm aware of. My document looks perfectly
fine on the screen, but when sent to print, it comes out looking like a
photographically reduced (proportionally) image of the page to the left and
up, somewhat like the prevous post described.
Some suggested Track Changes accounted for this: Track Changes was not
invoked on this document. I am not a Word expert in any sense of the word,
pun intended, but it just seems that Track Changes is not the culprit. I
have no proof, but maybe related to insufficient margin(s) - yet I get no
message that it wants to print outside the margins. I tried reducing the %
of original, but it makes the reduced image just that muich smaller. I wish
I could attach a sample.
So I remain as puzzled as the others. Any ideas are most welcome.

I'm completely stumped! I copy pasted some text from a web page into Word.
The page setup is set to A4 paper size. The margins are all set to
standard.
BUT for some reason the page has "resized" itself and added an extra inch
or
so to the right hand side of the page. The margins are set to 1.25" on
either side, but with the extra "paper" that has been added, there is now
roughly 2.5" inches of blank paper on the right hand side.
So, the page size is set at A4 (8.27") and the margins are set up at 1.25"
either side, and the text itself occupies the right amount of space (about
6") but the page on my screen is about 9.5" wide and the margin on the
right
is 2.5".
When I print the document, it appears to be scaling itself down, so that
even though it's printing onto A4, the right hand margin is still twice as
large as it should be and the text is resized a little to fit.
Why why why?! Please someone help me out. I've tried going through all the
page setup settings and checking the paragraph format etc. I've tried
re-pasting the text into a brand new document, but when I do that the
beautiful new A4 page just resizes itself again!
I'm just trying to get some study done - I wanted to copy this text so
that
I can print a draft quality copy and study, make notes on the train!
Shouldn't be this stressful
